As his agency works to correct compliance findings by the state’s auditor general, Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly says Firearm Owner’s Identification Card backlogs have been eliminated and processing times have improved.
Kelly appeared before the Legislative Audit Commission on Tuesday and addressed findings that his department did not comply with FOID Act requirements.
Courtney Dzierwa of the Auditor General’s Office said renewal fees were deposited into the wrong fund, and ISP was late to provide notification of expiring cards in some cases.
Kelly said the FOID system has been modernized and the backlog has been eliminated.
Dzierwa said the auditor’s most recent examination had 32 findings, but no new material weaknesses and an overall reduction of weaknesses.
